There’s a civil war going on in my head

There’s a civil war going on in my head

where armies charge a cemetery ridge

past growing heaps of wounded and dead.

They fight to the death to capture the bridge

And cross to the bank where the grass is green

The flags of both side unfurled and held high

The symbols for which the innocent die

But nobody can tell me what they mean

Or articulate what it is they dread.

The reasons for fighting remain unsaid.
